There’s no real escape just an illusionary door in a tangled maze of dead ends. And I am here, still here, in your cul de sac of love. I feed on denial, I breathe pretence, I cannot take this anymore. I see them swarm with their suspicions, with their all-knowing stares. ‘We just want what’s best for you’, they say, fingers crossed. But they don’t know, they’ll never know for where I see white there’s black. In my mind is a corner where I imagine I’m free; no cages, no bars, no heart-shaped padlock. Am I strong enough to endure the torture, to make it there? Can I even physically say ‘goodbye’? Again. There’s rust around your iron assurance but you know I’m too weak to try the exits. Maybe. Maybe not.
